What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the relationship between climate change anxiety and fertility awareness Among a sample of women in Turkey. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting online data from 1,054 women between May and August 2025. The sample predominantly consisted of married and highly educated women recruited via online platforms. Data were gathered using the Socio-demographic Data Form, the Climate Change Anxiety Scale, and the Fertility Awareness Scale.
resultsThe majority of participants were aged 25–34 years (33.9%) and 35–44 years (31.1%). 44.2% of participants had a university degree or higher, and most were married (92.4%). The mean score on the Climate Change Anxiety Scale was 3.151, while the mean score on the Fertility Awareness Scale was 3.623. Higher fertility awareness scores were observed among women with fewer children (p = 0.005). Furthermore, women who expressed a clear desire to have children showed significantly greater awareness of fertility issues (p = 0.016). A significant positive correlation was found between climate change anxiety and Fertility Awareness Level (p = 0.000).
conclusionsThis study reveals a significant positive relationship between climate change anxiety and Fertility Awareness Level. Comprehensive educational programs are recommended to address the causes and consequences of climate change and alleviate fertility-related concerns among women with similar sociodemographic characteristics.
